The new directive, announced by Minister of Youth Development Comrade Ayodele Olawande, replaces the previous restriction, which limited postings to education, agriculture, health, and infrastructure sectors. The government argues that the former policy hindered corps members from gaining relevant experience in their field of study. This shift is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s strategy to create more employment opportunities and improve skills alignment for graduates entering the workforce.
